LPS hosts career fair

LAWTON, OK (KSWO) - Lawton Public Schools is looking to fill more than 50 vacant certified teacher spots before the beginning of next school year.

They also have several support positions open.

To help them fill those positions, they held their Tenth Annual Career Fair.

Director of Human Resources, Jean Hastings said they try to fill the positions with the best teachers they can and this gives them an opportunity to meet the principal or other teachers at the school.

"Each of our schools have a table set up and are able to give them some information for them to get a feel of the culture and the climate of that school so they can get where they can best serve students."

Hastings said it's important to have those positions filled by quality applicants before the 2017-2018 school year.
